Answer:
The gravitational force between them increases by a factor of 4
Explanation:
Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two objects with masses M and m which are separated by a distance R. It is given mathematically as:
Fg = GMm/R²
Where G = Gravitational constant.
If the distance between their centers, R, decreases by a factor of 2, then it means the new distance between their centers is:
r = R/2
Hence,the gravitational force becomes:
Fg = GMm/r²
Fg = GMm/(R/2)²
Fg = GMm/(R²/4)
Fg = 4GMm/R²
Hence,the gravitational force increases by a factor of 4.
Answer:
10.2 m
Explanation:
The position of the dark fringes (destructive interference) formed on a distant screen in the interference pattern produced by diffraction from a single slit are given by the formula:
where
y is the position of the m-th minimum
m is the order of the minimum
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
d is the width of the slit
is the wavelength of the light used
In this problem we have:
is the wavelength of the light
is the width of the slit
m = 13 is the order of the minimum
is the distance of the 13th dark fringe from the central maximum
Solving for D, we find the distance of the screen from the slit:
A bridge supported by vertical cables which then leads to more support from larger cables.
